Ruby 2.4.0 Standard Library Documentation

Introduction

Welcome to the Ruby Standard Library Documentation collection, brought to you by
Ruby-doc. Whether you are
browsing online or offline, we hope that your use of Ruby's standard library will
become more productive as a result of this effort.

Ruby-doc is a project dedicated to creating
and collecting documentation on Ruby.

stdlib-doc is a RubyForge project that converts Ruby
source code into this documentation you are looking at.

What You'll Find Here

Each package in the Ruby standard library (found in lib/ directory of the
Ruby source code, or lib/ruby/1.x/ of a Ruby installation) has
been run through RDoc and the results have been collected here.

ruby-doc volunteers and library authors
add comments to the Ruby source code repository, and it is those comments that RDoc
captures for display in this collection. As there are many libraries and few
volunteers, this is a long task.

Credits

Much of the documentation itself has been created by Gavin Sinclair, William Webber, Lyle
Johnson, James Edward Gray II, and library authors. Individual library files
usually have code and documentation credits.
